G-Eclipse-Amazon-Integration
Ideas
- We create another AMI that contains
- Java and e.g. a tomcat
- It should allow us to deploy OSGi bundles
- Information Service (fetchService) should provide all the necessary and available info from AWS
Open Issues
- Is there something like a group in S3/EC2? This could be used like a VO to browse the resources of a user/member.
- Deployment: Launch configuration or is there a concept like deployment e.g. in Webtools?
- Currently S3 Authentication != x.509
- Is it possible (how?) to get the information about other S3 buckets that belong to a certain group?
Dictionary
- S3/EC2 UIDs == (in a first approach) VO (Virtual Organization)
- S3 Storage == SE (Storage Element)
- AMI (Amazon Machine Image) == CE (Compute Element)
- Installing, starting bundles in a running AMI == Application Deployment
Important Interfaces
- IGridElement
- IGridElementCreator
- IVirtualOrganization (AbstractVirtualOrganization)
- IGridInfoService
- IAuthenticationTokenDescription, IAuthenticationToken (e.g. the Globus (x.509) implementation)
